Why doesn't SMR update it's prices based on auction results?

Because that would require work.

VCP does no record BIN's on ebay for some reason, but SMR is pure garbage.

Maybe bobby can confirm but I think VCP is now recording all BIN's since ebay made the store listing and bin's the same.

SMR is one persons theory, VCP is recorded reality.
How you interpret that reality determines how effective it is, but the facts are there.
On one particular set I was following closely, one card in one grade suddenly shot thru the roof in SMR. Sure enough, an advertiser had it in his auction a month later. Thrown them straight into the trash ever since.

To me, VCP is like a CARFAX Report - not perfect, but has most of the reported information, gives some peace-of-mind and is a worthwhile barometer.

SMR is like those monthly tabloids at the supermarket checkouts that tell you things like Oprah secretly gave birth to an alien child.
